Description

I run a VPN 24/7 to bypass country restrictions and on the proton vpn app I can set whitelists. So far this has worked with every application i use that need local network access.

What apps do I need to whitelist for Altstore to function? So far I've whitelisted the following apps:

AltServer.exe
iTunes.exe
iTunesHelper.exe
iTunesVisualizerHost.exe

However Altserver will still not find my iPad until I disconnect the VPN still. Am I missing an app to whitelist?
